Mercedes-Benz’ entry-level model sees no changes for 2010. Engines remain a 134-hp 2.0-litre engine with a five-speed manual, or a 200-hp turbocharged version with a six-speed manual. A CVT is optional with either motor. Despite the B’s Lilliputian size, its flexible seating allows for nearly 1,500 litres of carrying capacity. Also, the cabin design is clean, if a little bleak. Optional dual-panel moonroof helps lift the mood.

 

Pros

Fuel efficient, good cargo room

Cons

Expensive
